I can test patches if you CC me on them.

In the qemu/KVM case it's safe to kill the qemu process, as qemu
catches the signal and shuts down safely (in particular: it properly
flushes any writes in flight).  I just copied that same code from the
qemu backend to the UML backend.  The libguestfs test suite includes a
test to determine if data is flushed properly on shutdown.
